It was originally built to catch failures early in data engineering pipelines but can be used for general validation purposes.\n\nThe engine works by defining Executors (which contain shared validation logic) and ValidationSuites (which inherit from an executor and define validation_* methods that run automatically). You write validation methods following a naming convention, and the engine discovers and executes them. It's structured like a unit-testing framework but designed for integration and data-quality checks rather than code unit tests.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is actively maintained and has low install friction. However, the license treatment is unclear, so verify the actual license before use in proprietary contexts. Install if you need a validation framework for data pipelines or integration testing and can confirm the license meets your requirements."},"id":"validations-engine","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/validations-engine","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/validations-engine.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/validations-engine/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-11-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"validations-engine","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Engine for creating and running validation suites for general purposes"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":243272,"position":8814,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.0"}
